Metropolis (Arlequim Desconhecido) (LP Version) - The Manhattan Transfer[00:00:00]
Once there was light perfectly white far as the eye could wander[00:00:11]
Once there was time morning and night[00:00:25]
Once there was sky over yonder[00:00:31]
The day begins metropolis lies sleeping like a drunken soldier[00:01:13]
Behind the wheel you come alive and down into its heart you motor[00:01:21]
Atop the rise metropolis defender of the high and mighty[00:01:28]
At every turn the homeless wait reminding you of all that might be[00:01:35]
Hurry now there is somebody there to meet you[00:01:46]
Office girls sweet and innocent poised to greet you[00:01:54]
Through the glass fifty stories below you[00:02:01]
There's a place I've been meaning to show you[00:02:05]
Full of sights that are certain to blow you away[00:02:08]
Beneath the haze metropolis awakens with a hiss and rumble[00:02:16]
You'll hear a knock don't hesitate they mustn't ever see you stumble[00:02:23]
You'll never last down on the street where staying on your toes ain't ballet[00:02:31]
It's getting by or getting beat from curtain to the grand finale[00:02:38]
In the air there is music and sounds of laughter[00:02:49]
For the moment it's happily ever after[00:02:56]
Through the glass fifty stories below you[00:03:04]
In the shadows where nobody knows you[00:03:07]
There's a stranger who's dying to show you the way[00:03:11]
Now entering metropolis creation of a world gone crazy[00:03:19]
The alleyway the resting place still echo from the souls trapped under[00:03:26]
You lock the doors step on the gas and push until it goes no faster[00:03:33]
You close your eyes and leave behind metropolis lord and master[00:03:41]
